Project description

Overview
========

ECQuiz is an extension module (a so-called *product*) for the
Plone_ content management system. It allows you to create and
deliver multiple-choice tests.

.. _Plone: http://plone.org/


Download
========

`plone.org products page`_

.. _plone.org products page: http://plone.org/products/ecquiz/


Prerequisites
=============

To use ECQuiz you need:

#. A current Plone installation, specifically Plone 3.x; check
plone.org_ for details.

#. The DataGridField_ product. This version of ECQuiz has been
tested extensively with DataGridField version 1.6. Newer
versions might or might not work as well.

.. _plone.org :http://plone.org/products/plone
.. _DataGridField: http://plone.org/products/datagridfield/


Installation
============

See the `Installing an Add-on Product`_ tutorial for more detailed
product installation instructions.

.. _Installing an Add-on Product: http://plone.org/documentation/tutorial/third-party-products/installing


Installing with buildout
------------------------

If you are using `buildout`_ to manage your instance you can install
ECQuiz by adding it to the eggs line for your instance::

[instance]
eggs =
...
Products.ECQuiz

After updating the configuration you need to run ``bin/buildout``,
which will take care of updating your system.

Then restart your zope instance and use the Add/Remove products page
in Site Setup to install ECQuiz.

.. _buildout: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/zc.buildout


Installing without buildout
---------------------------

Move (or symlink) the ``ECQuiz`` folder of this project
(``Products.ECQuiz/Products/ECQuiz``) into the ``Products`` directory
of the Zope instance it has to be installed for, and restart the
server. Use the Add/Remove products page in Site Setup to install
ECQuiz.
